Before releasing the deluxe version of her extended play Like..?, Ice Spice spoke with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe.
Today (July 19), during the interview, one of the topics of discussion was Ice working with Grammy Award-winning singer Taylor Swift. For the New York native, it all started when “I was home, and my manager called me and was like, ‘Oh, Taylor wants you on a record.’ And I’m like, ‘Taylor?'” she recalled. “And he usually would just text me anything, right? So I’m like, ‘OK.'”
The 23-year-old went on to explain that she was experiencing a rough time when the call came through. “I was having a terrible day. I was crying all morning because I was just so mad at something, and then he called me with that news,” Ice continued. “And then I cried more because it was good news.”
The news Ice received was that Swift wanted the rising artist to be on the remix for her single “Karma.” After the call, the “Princess Diana” performer said, “We went to the studio, and she’s so humble and so nice. I kid you not. I pulled up to the studio, and she [was] outside waiting for me. I’m like, ‘Why is Taylor Swift outside?’ Like, ‘Taylor, what are you doing here?’ So she’s great. She’s so funny.”
Ice shared that since their studio session, she and Swift have established a bond and keep in touch. “We text all the time. She is f**king hilarious. I’m not going to lie. She’s the funniest person ever,” the young rapper revealed. On May 26, the “Karma” remix hit the streaming platforms. Hours after its release, Swift invited Ice on stage as a surprise guest during her “Eras Tour” stop at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. “Can you believe that? I did a stadium show before an arena. That was nuts. I’m not going to lie,” Ice said to Lowe.
